my swatch worked in Norwegian wool

There will be 5 scheduled Saturday afternoon classes from 1 to 5 p.m., spread out over the year.  You’ll have plenty of knitting time and all the support you need, to knit through a year with blue anemones (or any flower you choose) blooming in your fingers.  We’ll make a plan to celebrate with a dinner out together in our cardigans!

A Cover for Your Hot Water Bottle
BYOB!
3 Saturdays
1 to 4 pm
February 8, February 22, March 8

   

Hot water bottle covers are trending!  I knit the ones above as gifts using a commercial pattern because I wanted to support the designer.  You will not need to buy a pattern.  The steps are standard for most bottles, and are good learning or practice for techniques you likely already know.

The pictures above are of mini bottles that hold 500 ml. 
But please bring the size you prefer. 
You will learn how to customize the fit.

The Learning

how to cast on for any size of water bottle with the yarn you have
(how to knit scrappy if you’d like to bring leftover yarns)

how to shape while knitting plain,
or with simple colourwork motifs, stripes, etc.

how to customize your cover to fit your own bottle

simple blocking and finishing

If this class interests you, please email to have a spot held for you.
I will email you the supply list and registration details.

I will send the details about the new pullover program later this week. 
Stay tuned for Tradition With a Twist to knit closer to Spring! 

Here’s a sneak peek:

             

I can’t wait to see you!
Enjoy a relaxing dip into this wonderful new year
with the well-rounded number!
